Our Program
The O’Connor House offers a structured, housing-based program designed to support single, pregnant women throughout their pregnancy and into early motherhood. Residents may stay for up to 18 months as they work toward achieving self-sufficiency and long-term stability for themselves and their children.
The program focuses on personal growth, goal setting, and preparing each mother for independence. To ensure a safe, respectful, and supportive living environment for all, residents are expected to follow community guidelines that promote peace, accountability, and shared responsibility.
Residency Expectations Include:
-
- Adhering to all policies outlined in the House Policy Manual, provided during intake
- Treating fellow residents, children, and staff with respect
- Maintaining full-time employment and/or education (with the exception of a 6-week maternity leave following childbirth)
- Actively participating in educational and life skills programming
- Attending weekly case management meetings
- Contributing to shared household responsibilities
- Financial contribution: Employed residents contribute 10% of their income
Through this goal-oriented and supportive environment, The O’Connor House equips each woman with the tools, resources, and encouragement needed to build a brighter future.
